A Mega Man Legends project is in production on ACTRA Toronto's list

An unannounced production titled "MEGA MAN LEGENDS - NEW MEDIA" is currently in active production in Ontario, running from September 14 to December 1, 2026. The entry appears alongside ongoing regional shoots like Shoresy Season 6 and When Hope Calls on ACTRA Toronto's production tracker, which logs union performer work across the Greater Toronto Area.

Neither Capcom nor any external studio has announced a revival of the subseries. The union entry lists casting as "IN HOUSE," leaves the insurer as "TBC," and carries "No" under its A707 declaration, a designation reserved for privately financed non-Canadian shoots without local hiring minimums. Under ACTRA's collective agreements, the "New Media" label covers digital web series, interactive entertainment, motion capture, and video game voice recording.

Twenty-six years stuck on Elysium

Capcom launched the subseries in Japan as Rockman DASH on the original PlayStation in December 1997, trading classic 2D platforming for real-time 3D dungeon crawling across a flooded world. Two PlayStation follow-ups arrived by 2000: the prequel spin-off The Misadventures of Tron Bonne and the direct sequel Mega Man Legends 2, which ended with protagonist Mega Man Volnutt stranded on Elysium. Capcom announced Mega Man Legends 3 for the Nintendo 3DS in September 2010 and built a public community development room around it, only to cancel the project in July 2011 after producer Keiji Inafune left the company.

Getting hold of the games on modern hardware isn't easy. The first game saw ports to the Nintendo 64 (as Mega Man 64) and Windows PC in 2001, and both numbered entries received Japan-exclusive PlayStation Portable releases in 2005 that never came west. Their most recent official storefront appearance was as PSOne Classics for PlayStation 3, PSP, and PlayStation Vita in September 2015, which means neither title runs natively on PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox, or Steam.

Why Toronto makes sense for a voice cast

Seeing a Mega Man Legends production pop up in Ontario isn't random geography. During the late 1990s, Capcom recorded the English dubs for several PlayStation games in Toronto, including Resident Evil 2 and the entire Legends trilogy, drawing on local ACTRA voice talent such as Corey Sevier, Susan Roman, Tracy Ryan, and Caroly Larson.

Because Capcom shipped Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection in March 2026, Legends is now the last major branch of the franchise without a modern compilation. If Capcom is finally putting together a Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection, a fresh union recording session in Toronto would solve a real legal headache. Robert Norman Smith, the Canadian actor who voiced pirate patriarch Teisel Bonne across all three PlayStation releases, pleaded guilty to child sexual abuse material charges in 2008 and died in 2020 while facing additional counts. Recasting and re-recording Teisel's lines (or commissioning a full redub with returning Ontario actors) is the cleanest way to rerelease those games commercially, and a redubbed collection is far more likely than a full remake or a revived Legends 3.

Other possibilities before December

A video game compilation isn't the only way a project lands in ACTRA's New Media bucket. Toronto-based publisher UDON Entertainment released its Mega Man Legends: Timelines one-shot earlier this year and announced an ongoing Legends comic series at San Diego Comic-Con in July, so a promotional motion comic or animated digital short isn't out of the question. An standalone animated web series or a cameo tie-in alongside Capcom's 2027 platformer Mega Man: Dual Override could also fit a ten-week recording window.

Whatever is being recorded in Ontario wraps on December 1, nine days before The Game Awards.
